When you're one of those persons who don't feel confortable wearing bright colors, a good way to incorporate them in your outfits is either on your accessories (like shoes, bags, jewelry), or if your feel like taking risks, wearing only one colorful piece that will be the center of attention, and keeping the rest of the outfit neutral, like I did. I've had this skirt for so many years, but I've wore it, at most, 3 times, because I think that is has WAY to many colors. This skirt may not be my favorite one, but it sure is useful when I'm in the mood for a colorful outfit. Just in case you still don't have that extra colorful piece in your closet, I linked up some pretty ones like THIS one at the end of this post.

When I think about nail polish for summer, bright colors is the first thing that comes to my mind. But this season is a bit different, instead of all brights , the color menu of this year also includes plenty of whites, neutrals and my favorite: PASTELS! If you're looking for the perfect summer shades you just need to take a look to the Trust Fund Beauty Nail collection.

I've been using the same brand of nail polish for what it seems forever now, and while I still love it I have to admit that the quality it's nowhere near of Trust Fund. First of all, this is a 100% Vegan and Cruelty Free brand. All their nail polishes are 10- FREE. The nail polish has a thin (almost watery) texture that can be a bit messy when applying but at the same time the colors are opaque and you can use only one coat, or two if you want more opacity. The result is a pretty mani that will stay perfect for at least 5 days, no base or top coat needed. I absolutely love the rectangular bottles that make this polish stand up from the other ones on my collection. Also, the names are just hilarious and they always put a smile on my face.

Do U know who my father is?Described as a dusty medium pink. This is almost a neutral pink with a glossy finish that makes the color pop. Perfect for al of those who prefer to wear the same nail polish until they finish it.

Elegantly Wasted is described as a dark lilac, but to me it looks like a pastel blue with lilac hues and a bit of grey. This color is my favorite of all three.

Flirty and dirty is described as a deep dusty rose. In my opinion this shade is a light mauve with a little bit of shimmer. This is my kind of pink, the shade is the perfect shade for dark skinned girls.

One of the advantages of being petite girl is that you can shop in basically every department in a store, and that increases your chances to get the perfect new addition to your closet. Nor only that, usually kids shoes and clothes are cheaper, so this is also a way to save money when buying clothes. The Comic tee and my vans that I'm wearing on today's post are from the kids department. For a reference, I wear L or XL in kids shirts and shoes in size 4 are the equivalent of women size 6 , but my vans are actually a size 3 because the brand runs big. Like in every brand and store size can vary, so If you're ready to dive into the kids department online shopping I would recommend you to try on clothes first on the different stores and familiarize with the sizes. Do you have any other tips for saving money when shopping? Let me know in a comment below.

I love wearing black as much as the next person, but lately I've been all about prints and colorful clothes. This time I wore my beloved floral pants with a bright pink tank top. This top has been sitting on my closet for the longest time, but know is like I feel that I want to wear it all the time. What I really like about the outfit, it is that it is pretty casual but bot pieces are "girly" enough that with only adding high heels like I did looks dressier. The caged sandals I'm wearing are from express but sadly they are sold out . I liked out some awesome pairs like these at the end of this post.

Happy Saturday Everyone, I hope you're having a great weekend! Summer is finally here and that means that from now and on most of my outfits will consist of high waisted shorts and crop tops. These shorts were my latest find and from the minute I got them I knew I had to wear them with my white embroidered crop top. I love how the patterns of each piece contrast with each other, so to make those details the center of attention I wanted to keep the rest simple. My Rebecca Minkoff micro tote and white platform sandals were just the perffect addition to this casual outfit.

Since the last two posts have featured old pictures, I figured I would post another set of throwback pictures to keep with the mood. I took this ones, the day after The Simply Stylist last year!! Cannot believe it has been a year already and the new conference is going to be in one month (If you are in Chicago in july 16, see you there, get your tickets HERE!) .. time flies! By the way, besides the t-shirt everything in the outfit is thrifted. I specially love the bag, don't you think is the cutest thing ever?

Happy Saturday!! Can you believe summer is only a couple days away? I feel like time is flying and I just can't catch up. But seriously, is like the week doesn't have enough days, and the days are waaay to short. Am I the only one who feel the same? . Anyway I wore this outfit last April and two months later I'm finally posting this pictures. But in fact I've been wearing this pants almost once a week. They are a staple on my office wardrobe because they are really comfy, plus the black and white pattern make them a piece easy to match with almost ANYTHING in my closet. That always comes in handy on those days when I wake up late and I have like 5 minutes to get ready!
